Today, a minor victory in the campaign to eliminate DRM, Apple, the last major retailer of DRM-encumbered music has announced, live at MacWorld, that music will be going DRM-free. Today, some 8 million music tracks and music videos are already available DRM-free, via iTunes Plus.

This announcement is a major win for Defective by Design, who have been putting pressure on Apple for years, including putting pressure on Jobs, and holding physical protests at Apple Stores all over the world.

We must continue to put pressure on Apple. That means continuing to boycott all DRM-content on iTunes, including the iPhone and the App Store. We encourage Apple to continue to remove DRM from iTunes content, including all movies, TV shows, games, audiobooks and applications, as well as support for free formats, such as Vorbis and Theora. We'll be keeping track of their movements with our new Apple DRM widget, and we'll continue to check in and see how things are progressing.
